Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

Lucas bent slightly, dazed, and under everyone's expectant gaze, said one sentence. “Mr. Lewis, | think | just saw

a goddess”

Zachary’s face darkened, his lips tightening into a straight line. What kind of occasion is this? How could Lucas, a

representative of the Chambers family, speak such nonsense? A goddess? What on earth?

Lucas, seeing Zachary’s expression, suddenly snapped back to reality, realizing what he had just said. Glancing

at the perplexed faces around him, Lucas blushed slightly and quickly added. “Mr. Lewis, Miss Zeller is almost

here-she’s at the second gate now

Zachary nodded, his expression easing. Now that Yvette was arriving, it meant nothing had gone wrong, and his

mind finally settled. “As long as Yvette's here, that’s fine. What nonsense were you talking just now?”

Lucas didn’t explain his earlier words but looked like he had more to say. “Mr. Lewis, you'll understand in a

minute. | really can’t describe it.”

Zachary was completely baffled, but he didn’t think Lucas had lost his mind-he’d been perfectly fine just ten

minutes ag

sago.

As they spoke, Nellie, helping Richard, along with Robert, Yulia, Winona, Zeke, and Victor, all gathered around

Zachary. They had overheard what Lucas said and were just as confused.

Nellie had only caught that Yvette had reached the second gate, and she knew right away that Tony must have

messed something up. That incompetent fool-useless as always! He couldn’t even handle such a small task. But

it’s fine. I'll take over from here, and I'll succeed for sure.”

The next second, speople started noticing that everyone around them had suddenly frozen, all staring

toward the garden entrance. Confused, they followed suit, and soon they, too, were left in shock, their eyes filled

with awe and disbelief. It really does seem like we're seeing the “goddess” Lucas was talking about

The night was as cool as water, with moonlight spilling across the ground. The trees and flowers, shadowy and

indistinct, were like they'd been draped in a veil of mist. Roses danced in the air, chasing one another in the

breeze, their branches. swaying, casting shifting shadows that twirled in the wind.

In the midst of this play of light and shadow, a woman slowly approached, walking under the moonlight. Her

eyes sparkled with a crystalline clarity, her slightly curled lashes resembling a wisp of fog drifting from the

mountains. There was a hint of coldness in her gaze, commanding both respect and fear. Her white fringed gown

swayed gently in the breeze, and with every step she took, the dress seemed to change with the light, emitting a

rainbow of colors-brilliant, like the stars. The thousands of roses in the garden had now becmere ornaments

to her presence.

As she drew closer, everyone realized her white fringed dress was adorned with hand-sewn diamonds. Those

with at discerning eye immediately recognized that they were real diamonds. There must be at least a hundred

diamonds on that dress, right? And the price? Astronomicalf

The woman furrowed her brows slightly, like a stone dropped into still waters, rippling with a touch of

impatience. Just then, Zachary’s voice, calling “Yvette, snapped everyone's thoughts back to reality.

“Yvette?” The people present stared at the girl in disbelief, their faces transforming as if waking from a dream

Yvette! Yvette? So this is the rumored country girl, rough and uncouth, the supposedly plain and rustic Ms. Zeller

from the Chambers family? Who started that rumor! If this is what they call ugly, then what are we? And they call

that rustic? Might as well let a lightning bolt strike us! The crowd that had surrounded Winona earlier fell silent.

Winona stood there like a statue, her face drained of color, her expression ashen. The dark, twisted look in her

eyes sent a chill down anyone who saw it. Her pale lips trembled slightly, and her left hand was clenched so

tightly that her nails dug painfully into her palm. Winona lowered her head, saying nothing. She had already

noticed the crowd's enraptured and mesmerized gazes directed at Yvette-even Victor had been momentarily

stunned. She knew she couldn't compete with Yvette in terms of beauty, so when Nellie’s plan was revealed to

her, she had felt a secret thrill. Now, can someone please explain towhy Yvette's face is still perfectly fine?

Nellie, always keeping an eye on Winona, knew that at this moment, she couldn’t allow Winona to falter in any

way. When no one was paying attention, she walked up to Winona, pulling her aside and, with a stern expression,

whispered coldly. “Winona, you better pull yourself together. Don’t make a fool of yourself. Tonight is your

moment. You may have lost in the looks department, but if you don’t put up a light now, you'll lose everything.

As long as you're accepted by Mr. Griffin as his student later, you'll still be the center of attention. Stop sulking

here. I've already dealt with Yvette’s situation-you don’t need to worry about it. I'll make sure she pays later.”

Winona kept her head down, silent, no longer trusting Nellie. In the end, | can only rely on myself. After a long

pause, she finally looked up and said, “I understand, Mom. Don’t worry

Seeing that Winona had calmed down. Nellie relaxed and returned to Zachary’s side.

The crowd was buzzing, and the chatter grew louder.

Zachary saw this and stepped forward to speak to Yvette in a soft, gentle tone, his elegant face full of affection,

completely ignoring the stares of those around him. “Con, Yvette let's go sit over there with Dad. The

banquet will start soon. Have you eaten anything yet? Are you hungry? Don’t skip meals to maintain your figure-

your health is the most important thing for a young girl.”

Zachary’s attitude said it all. The people present were all businessmen-they could read between the lines. The

rumors. outside couldn't be further from the truth. Zachary hasn't shown this much affection even toward

Winona, who's about to becMrs Griffin's student. Yet, with his newly found daughter, he’s completely doting

and attentive. Doesn't that tell us everything we need to know? If they still didn’t get it, they might as well be

blind.
